 in veluna there is a tavern that has been closed for three years every third time celene comes to first quarter it attracts a clientel of phantoms from a future that no longer is iuz god iuz isn't gone he he's hiding from the sun sooner or later it is going to come looking for him if he is not found beory is a lie the true spirit of oerth was imprisoned by the human#oeridian oeridians some of her essence has managed to escape and manifests as a human woman typically a whore who reincarnates as a new person whenever slain there is a cult who searches for each incarnation so it can be sacrificed there there's an island north of dyvers where an old man lives if given a chicken he will slit its stomach and read the future in its entrails the exact opposite of his prophecy shall come true one man has been prophecized to be the savior of all oerth oerth's oceans he is no longer welcome in any port if you dip the components of a   magic missile   spell in sea salt the spell will ward off rogue elementals illusionists know the truth all magic is an illusion he who can disbelieve it will see that the rain of colorless fire never happened and the old empires still thrive beyond our senses there is an order of monks in the tilvanot peninsula who have been working to buy up or bankrupt as many cattle farmers as possible; no other livestock seems to interest them no one knows why centaurs aren't actually a seperate race but the result of a knight cursed by hextor on the other side of the world the rest of the knight and his mount can be found ever see a shooting star ever wonder who they're shooting at think about it the next time you see one fall in greyhawk city there there's an old law that says you must never step on a toad on the pain of death the ghost of the man who passed that law still enforces it orc orcs goblin goblins kobold kobolds gnoll gnolls know why they all hate civilized races because we stole civilization from them and we have to make sure they don't ever get it back ever hear of kuo toa fish men who live in the same caves the drow do know why they live there and not the sea there there's more than one kind of low tide so to speak and the drow better hope they can grow gills damned fast when it comes to high tide there there's no such thing as the opposite of a prophecy what really happens is that existance is becoming disjuncted from fate if it stays that way soon it will fade away at the top of the world you can find where the gods stopped creating oerth and always intended to return to it someday the iuz country lands of iuz were built over the ruins of an empire forgotten by time why was it forgotten because it stood as such an affront against the powers that be that they struck it from history but if you know how to read between the lines you can still see it funny how iuz god iuz suddenly vanished isn't it there there's a town that got annexed by a hidden land and faded from existence the exports from there have become rare collectors items; some claim that new shipments come every now and again but collectors destroy them to keep the market in their favor ever meet a master jeweler then you've met a master thief too they gather every seven years at a pub in furyondy to discuss business there there's an island where all the light of the stars comes to rest after being shone and on that island there is a way to make sure that they will never shine again everyone knows that dryad dryads live in trees but they don't tell you what else lives in them for a very good reason there there's a reason why the sun is too bright to look at we aren't meant to see what is in it the center of the multiverse is a small well in falwar it is owned by a man named raymond barnes; and has always been since the city city's founding those exploring the well say it is disappointingly small and dry they say any rogue worth his salt can steal a hatpin from a duchess why because one time a rogue actually did it; and saved her from the were-slug curse on it on a certain bulletin board in niole dra a cartoon featuring the adventures of a woodsman have appeared for some decades despite the author author's death and numerous negative attempts to check his grave and home for haunting they keep coming when you vibrate a string it makes a certain tone when you cut the string in half and vibrate it the tone is exactly one octave higher the same applies to string-theory; and that is where magic comes from do not trouble yourself by wondering where the other halves of the strings go for what what's done is done and staring at halfling halflings is impolite one would not expect drow to be proficient meteorologists; but this is just not true rain effects them much more than it does us as trickle-down theory does not apply solely to economics as the old saying goes; a master miner can shatter the mountains but a hired violinist can put them back together it is not known why people say this but is assumed to be derogatory to practicioners of both arts some people say there is a place where only shadows may go and their owners are forced to follow thier every move they say it it's possible for a shadow to have two owners there if it walks through crossed lights; just like you can have two shadows they called it the rain of colorless fire and everyone knows rain pools up in in low places that that's why valley elves trust no one
